There are many reasons why students go on academic probation, and nearly all of them can be connected to lack of preparation and unclear career goals. SPC knows that students who take one of these classes do better in the rest of their classes, and so are more successful in completing their college goals. If you have already successfully completed one of these classes (with a C grade or better), you will not be required to enroll in an EDUC class. You and your counselor will discuss what options are best for you.
